I don't live in new haven but I have been to New Haven many times and taken advantage of the Yale NH hospital. I owe my son's life to them so yeah..I'm biased. In my experience hey are great for the city. They provide jobs at the school and hospital. Good jobs for the area, and of course people spend some dollars in NH, including the students (Drinkin). They can't fix everything in New Haven and urban renewal is not their responsibility. Can they help more, probably, are their coffers deep, yeah but urban renewal is the responsibility of the city, state, and feds. New Haven needs some heavy lifting

Glad your son is doing well! I understand that. It’s not their responsibility, you’re right, unless they were otherwise extractive in their presence here. Which they don’t seem to be, but I wasn’t sure.

Yale New Haven hospital and Yale University are distinct entities
